Cantrell Receives Distinguished Professor of the Year Award
The Presidents' Council, State Universities of Michigan, has named Will Cantrell a 2013 Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year. The associate professor of physics shares the honor with professors from the University of Michigan-Flint and Wayne State University.
This is the second year in a row that a Michigan Tech faculty member has been so honored. Last year Dean Johnson, a professor in the School of Business and Economics, was also selected as a Michigan Distinguished Professor of the Year.
Cantrell is being recognized for his outstanding contributions and dedication to the education of undergraduate students. Each of Michigan’s 15 public universities nominated a faculty member who has had a significant impact on student learning through their work in the classroom, research, advising and mentoring.
This isn’t the first time Cantrell has been honored for his teaching. In 2012, he won Michigan Tech’s annual Distinguished Teaching Award.
